Too bad as Man was arrested for blackmailing late M.K.O Abiola’s wife

Caleb Nzube, a 26 year old man who attempted
to blackmail the wife of late Chief MKO Abiola
of $5,000, was last week arrested in Anambra
State.
According to reports, Nzube allegedly hacked
the Twitter handle of Mrs Tinu Abiola,
downloaded her picture and designed a web
page showing her carrying a human skull.

He then threatened to expose the web page to
the world if the she did not pay $5,000.
Mrs Abiola in turn, refused to be blackmailed so
she contacted Inspector General, Solomon
Arase, who directed a combined team of the
Inspector General Monitoring Team and the
Intelligence Response Team to track down the
suspect.
He was arrested when the operatives stormed
his hideout in Obosi.
It was gathered that Mrs Abiola was not the
suspect’s only victim, it was leanred that he
was harassing 2 other people.
According to Vanguard, Caleb Elom Nzube
admitted that he is an internet fraudster who
specialised in online dating before diverting into
blackmail.
He said:
“I started following Mrs Timu Alade Abiola on
Twitter and I got her pictures. I felt she was a
good catch and I decided to blackmail her. I
used Photoshop to make it look like she was
carrying a human skull. I designed a web page
with a little gossip story on it that she was
caught for ritual.
"I sent her the link and when she saw it I
demanded she pays me $5000 or I will show it
to the whole world. One of her friends came in
and begged that I shouldn’t do it and that they
were ready to pay me $ 2000. I rejected the
money, insisting that I must collect the amount
I demanded".
"Later they discovered I was Igbo and they gave
my number to an Igbo girl who started talking
to me and I accepted their offer, what got me
angry was that while we were still talking, they
sent a fishing link that destroyed my website
which I have been maintaining for more than
four years. That website had paid me little
money I have used in sustaining myself".
"I told the Igbo girl about it and that if I don’t
get the money before the end of the week I will
show the web page to the whole world. She
asked for my account, I gave it to her but
before I knew what was happening, the police
came and arrested me".
"I don’t understand why she has to bring in the
police; I told the girl that what I needed was for
her to tell her madam to just pay me for my
website they destroyed. In fact I regret all this,
if I had known it will be this messy I would have
not ventured into this. What I do is only dating.
I just wanted to try my luck on this one.”
